It's going to be a long time before I get any fruit - so jealous! But my seedlings are coming along fine. I started 4 seeds, one was a helmet that I waited to long to remove and it didn't end well! Here are the three remaining seedlings.



And with their "sisters" the Zena quadruplets:

Ahhh Dee! Thank you for posting! Such pretty dark green seedlings. They will take off, I hope they are among your first ripe ones. Can’t wait to see how they grow for you

Default Big KARMA Pink

KARen and MArsha,

Here are today's pictures of my KARMA Pink before it went into the ground. It's much bigger than I usually let them get before they go into their final home, but this crazy Spring weather wouldn't let me plant until now. Usually I've planted by April 8. The plant seems to be doing great, and I've got fruit that are growing quickly. Can't wait to eat one.

Lee

Edit.......sorry for the sideways pictures.

Default Cuttings

Here are the 3 top cuttings with the best root development. Picture taken this AM so 5+ days on the other 2 and 4 days for KP. KP is in both pictures as a comparison. The 2nd best one is SunOrange which is a from a seed I sowed really late (March 2) and is setting fruit now but nothing ripe yet.

This evening I went ahead and planted the KP clone; 4+ days old. Let's see what these babies are made of. That is hard to imagine.

You both should be really proud of your creation. I am.

Sunshine at last! KARMA Pink is happy to be out in the greenhouse and planted. She's sharing a tub with Moravsky Div on the left, which I'm growing just to refresh my seed stock. KARMA Pink is now working on a second set of buds, not yet 8 weeks from seed. So happy to be able to give her room to grow - we are into a period of daytime highs twice the average for this time of year... it's a perfect start for the tomatoes.

Nice Bower! The KARMA pink will love being out basking in the sun with all of your other plants! I hope your weather stays nice from now on. It’s time!

Marsha, got the seeds in 4/26 afternoon mail. 4 seeds went into promix HP that night in a deep 606 pack on a heat mat with dome.
Will check back with germ rate in a few days.

Karen, I see tomatoes on the left plant. What plant is that?
And yes the new seedlings are huge for the 33 days.
